The best anti-aging products will quite literally make you glow. Your inner wellness and wellbeing will shine out, and this itself will shed years from your looks.


 


 


It’s hard to keep this glow going all the time, especially at this time of year when the weather turns cold. You are likely to be less active in the winter, which reduces the blood circulation to your face, and your skin may also become really dry due to the heating being on at home and the lack of humidity in the air. There are various steps you can take to revive your face, however, and you can get your youthful glow back.


 


The best way to refresh skin that looks tired and pasty is to exfoliate. Buy a special exfoliating pad that is especially designed to use on your face. Don’t use one that is said to be suitable for the body, as this is likely to be too abrasive and can have an unpleasant effect. Make sure that you dampen the exfoliating pad and add a small amount of gentle soap. Move it in a clockwise motion around your face, buffing the skin in a gentle, circular motion. Don’t do this too aggressively as you could actually scratch your face. Rinse your face afterwards with cold water and then dry your face. You will have a new, rosy glow.


 


Herbal steam treatments are also recommended to deep cleanse your skin and add a beautiful colour. This will also cleanse your pores. To do one at home, boil some water and add a handful of herbs to the pot. Reduce the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Drape a towel over your head and lean over the pot of steaming mixture. Be very careful in order to avoid burning yourself. Keep your face in this position for five minutes, and breathe deeply as you allow the herbs to do their job.

When it comes to anti-aging, and the products that contribute to this, the number one thing that makes you look young is to have glowing skin. When your skin is healthy, radiant and bright, it is as if your inner wellness and wellbeing are shining through, and this can often take years off your looks.


 


If you feel like you’ve lost your inner glow lately, the good news is that it can be faked using over-the-counter products. Simply by choosing the right skincare products, you can undo the effects of smoking, stress and all the other modern-day factors that contribute to dull and tired skin.


 


The most important thing is to start with a ‘fresh canvas’. This means that you should wash your face daily and get rid of any build-up of oils or bacteria. Then, make sure that you moisturise every day with an effective moisturiser that keeps your face smooth, protected and cared for.


 


Next, a luminising foundation can help to give your skin a subtle lift and glow, as if you have just come in from enjoying a bit of sunshine and a gentle breeze in the garden. There are lots of different products to choose from, many of which can be built up in layers to find the perfect glow for your skin.


 


If it’s summer time, another ideal way to get that glow is by using fake tan, or a bronzer in your makeup. Sitting in the sun may give you a golden look for a few hours or days, but overall the damaging effects of the sun on your skin can actually age you dramatically (not to mention the health risks) so it is worth finding a good bronzer instead to give you that happy, sun kissed look.
